"Infor is proud to be recognized as a Leader in this Gartner Magic Quadrant," said Soma Somasundaram, Infor Chief Technology Officer and President of Products.

"These solutions are smart, preconfigured and modern, so we can help customers grow and digitally transform their businesses, recognize faster time-to-value, and continue to innovate," he noted. "Customers can take advantage of the fact that our platform is flexible and extensible, includes built-in industry standard practices, and is designed to be easy to use."

In its 2021 Magic Quadrant for Cloud ERP for Product-Centric Enterprises, Gartner notes that, "The ERP for product-centric enterprises market is accelerating its transition to cloud deployment models.

According to the Gartner report, "By 2023, organizations that have successfully renovated their ERP platforms will achieve at least a 40% improvement in IT agility to deliver business outcomes."

In addition, the report states, "By 2023, 60% of product-centric enterprises will utilize standardized ERP capabilities on a composable ERP platform."

Gartner also wrote in the report that, "By 2024, 60% of enterprise SaaS applications will be composed from packaged business capabilities that provide data, analytical insight and operational application services."
